# CPT 99441

> Medicare paid $56.75 for CPT 99441 in the office (non-facility) setting and $35.99 in a facility under the Q3 2022 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 2022. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2022, when it decreased 0.2%.

## What it is

A medical consultation carried out entirely by telephone — voice only, no video — between an established patient and their physician or other qualified clinician. This is the shortest of the three time bands, covering roughly five to ten minutes of actual medical discussion. It is meant for calls that stand on their own as the care episode, not for a quick word that is really part of a recent or upcoming office visit.
